Where Beauty & Performance Meet

Making the Right ChoiceAdding beauty to your home should never come with

compromise. Selecting windows for your home can be

easy if you know what to look for. Always be sure that

when you are comparing different window brands, you

review each product’s testing information. Sunrise

Windows are tested by certified, independent laboratories

in order to provide you with the critical information you

need to make the right decision for your home improve-

ment project.

NFRC Certified and NFRC Certified and ENERGY STARENERGY STAR®® Qualified Qualified Our ENERGY STAR qualified windows and doors are independently tested by National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) certified labs, ensuring that homeowners like you, have access to accurate information when looking to replace the windows and doors in your home.

ENERGY STAR is a U.S. government program that gives people the power to protect the environment in a cost effective way without sacrificing quality or product features. However ENERGY STAR qualification is based on U-Factor and SHGC ratings only. Many window brands will meet that qualification but that does not make them truly energy efficient. Air infiltration ratings are critical for ultimate window performance and NFRC will only register 0.1 as their lowest number and ENERGY STAR does not use this factor.

Sunrise’s Double Hung window is tested at a very low .03. Checking other brands air infiltration ratings will tell you if the window is not only ENERGY STAR qualified but energy efficient and that saves you money.

High Performance GlassNot all High Performance Insulated Glass is created equal. Competitive

window brands utilize single layer Low-E coating structures. Sunrise Windows

Insulated Glass Systems incorporate multiple layers of heat reflective metallic

coatings into our panes of glass. It’s one more advantage that Sunrise Windows

has over our competitors.Competitive single layer Low-E coated glass

Silver

Glass

Energy Efficient InsulationOur windows have environmentally friendly polyurethane

insulated extrusions that provide

higher R-factors than typical

multi-chambered vinyl windows.

Sunrise Windows are also

constructed using energy efficient

pure virgin uPVC, that helps in

keeping your home insulated.

Ultra-U™ Plus Glass System A 7/8” overall dual glazed insulated glass unit featuring our exclusive Ultra-U Plus™ Glass, the MAXEdge™ spacer system, and an air space filled with high density argon gas. The Ultra-U Plus™ coating structure is composed of eight layers of high performance reflective metallic shields.

Extra Layers Provide Extra Savings Our exclusive 8 layer Ultra-U™ Plus glass coating structure insulates better than hard- and

soft-coat Low-E glass, Low-E squared glass and even most triple-paned products. The higher the

insulating R-factor of the glass the more you save – let Sunrise’s Ultra-U™ Plus efficiency

and performance work for your home!

Certified TestingSunrise Windows are tested and certified to AAMA and the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) standards. These are the numbers Energy Star®

uses to determine how fenestration products comply with their standards, and to categorize the products for the appropriate climate zone(s).

This data is accurate as of February 26, 2009. Due to ongoing product changes, updated test results, or new industry standards or requirements, this data may change over time. Ratings are for sizes specified by NFRC for testing and certification. Ratings may vary depending on use of tempered glass, different grid and decorative glass options, glass for high altitudes, and coastal applications.

Block Out Winter’s Cold Designed to perform, Sunrise Windows have some of the

industry’s lowest air infiltration rates. Our triple weather-strip

barrier provides 50% more weather-stripping than other

windows and more protection against harsh winter weather,

which means you save money to heat your home.

With a constant 25 mile per hour wind, this test shows how many cubic feet of air infiltrate through each square foot of the window each minute. Results are from Pella Product Guide Specification 2008, and Andersen 2009 Performance Standards. Sunrise AAMA Certified 2010.

The MAXEdge™ Spacer dramatically reduces the risk of condensation on windows by conducting significantly less cold than aluminum, metal, and other thermoplastic spacer systems.

Secondary Silicone barrier, the second layer of our dual-seal system, creates a weatherable, structural bond that adheres the glass to the spacer, and retains its strength during expansion and contraction cycles.

Primary Polyisobutylene (PIB) Seal barrier, the first layer of our dual-seal system, prevents moisture from penetrating the insulated glass unit, and also retains argon gas in the airspace.

By filling all four sides of the MAXEdge™ Spacer frame with beads of dessicant, an additional layer of vapor protection is provided to further protect the window against moisture getting between the panes.

The lower the windows over-all U-Factor, the less heat

and energy you will lose through your windows.

The American Architectural Manufacturers Association’s Certification Program is the only program in the window and door in-dustry that requires that components used in the finished window and door assembly

pass their own set of performance tests. The program also requires the use of AAMA - accredited labs so that tests are performed by qualified, experienced professionals using properly calibrated equipment.

The higher the R-Factor, the better insulated the window.

The lower the air infiltration rate, the more airtight the window performs.
